SCOTT FERRALL has exited CBS SPORTS RADIO for a new gig hosting two live video streaming shows for SPORTSGRID, the sports betting network.

FERRALL, the longtime nighttime sports radio host, left the 10p-2a (ET) slot at CBS SPORTS RADIO, where had hosted since 2013, a week ago and will launch "SCOTT FERRALL: COAST TO COAST" 4-6p (ET) weekdays and "IN-GAME LIVE," airing 7-9p (ET) weekdays, starting JANUARY 29th. The shows will originate from SPORTSGRID's studios in the NEW JERSEY MEADOWLANDS.

In a press release, SPORTSGRID Pres./Co-Founder LOU MAIONE said, “We are so excited to have SCOTT join the SPORTSGRID talent team to be a major contributor on and off the air. Over the last 20 years, SCOTT has gained the respect and trust of millions of loyal listeners. With SCOTT’s appearance every weeknight on SPORTSGRID, he will have the tech platform to graphically visualize the real-time stats, odds, and data combined with his unique perspective to engage the audience.”

FERRALL said, “I’m thrilled to be joining the talent and management team at SPORTSGRID. The future of sports betting is gigantic and rapidly evolving beyond all expectations. LOU MAIONE is a titan of sports media and ahead of his time! He understands the integration of media, talent, money, gaming and relationships like no other executive. He’s a maverick and I’m blessed to have such a marvelous opportunity taking the lead in the business of sports betting. Frankly, I know it’s going to be the ride of a lifetime because SPORTSGRID is well-positioned for major success. Let’s dance.“

Sports betting has long been a part of FERRALL's repertoire on radio during his stints at WESTWOOD ONE, WNEW/NEW YORK, and SIRIUSXM. As for his CBS slot, a rotation of guest hosts is covering the 10a-2p shift for now.

The move was first reported at FORBES SPORTSMONEY.
